  • Title: Airway management in dental anaesthesia.
    Author: Woodcock BJ, Michaloudis D, Young TM.
    Journal: Eur J Anaesthesiol; 1994 Sep; 11(5):397-401. PubMed ID: 7988584.
    Abstract:
    Ninety patients were allocated randomly to three groups for airway maintenance during paediatric outpatient dental extraction: laryngeal mask airway, nasal mask with nasopharyngeal airway, or nasal mask alone. Surgical access was better with the laryngeal mask. Airway maintenance was easier with the laryngeal mask than the nasopharyngeal airway, and both were better than nasal mask alone. No patient became hypoxic with the laryngeal mask, five patients became hypoxic with the nasal mask and two with the nasopharyngeal airway at corresponding periods, although the differences were not statistically significant. The laryngeal mask airway is recommended for paediatric outpatient dental anaesthesia.
